Sloppy movie. Both in terms of screenplay, direction, and acting.

Audiovisual banquet. Film better than book.

In Czech terms, a very successful visual presentation, otherwise rather disappointing. Wooden dialogues, as well as acting performances, and a plot that is heavily inspired by a number of foreign predecessors.

The selection of topics is good; however, here and there, it appears quite undeveloped. Acumen simply didn´t have enough time to be properly sharpened. Ricky occasionally repeats himself. Nevertheless, it´s a very good social satire.

In the second half, I didn´t know whether to laugh or cry. Extra points for the humorous moment with the grenade.

I like black humor, but this seemed unnecessarily boundless, driven by sheer force with a background of zero thought.

Surprisingly fresh sequel to a successful zombie action-comedy.

I haven´t hesitated this much about a rating for a long time. The movie is a patchwork of often brilliant scenes, but as a whole, it´s an inconsistent mishmash.

Epic historical film that will be even better in the anticipated and significantly longer "director´s cut" version.

Precisely made horror based on real events. A significant portion of the dialogues is reportedly authentic, as they were recorded, for instance, on mobile phones.

Basically, it´s a theatrical adaptation of a single record from the infamous Wannsee Conference. The conference is dominated by the ruthless Reinhard Heydrich, brilliantly played by Kenneth Branagh. However, Branagh´s features are, in comparison to the real character, almost too pleasantly human.

After two very good previous movies, this is a disappointment. Again, there are plenty of ideas, but somehow it all doesn´t work anymore. And moreover, it´s overly sweetened to the point of horror.

Technically once again absolutely perfect film.

An action-packed ride from beginning to end. Good in the narrow sense of the term. Especially the prison escape scene is inventive."

Brilliantly narrated movie with outstanding performance by Pavla Gajdošíková.

Autopsychoanalysis of a director and screenwriter in one person. Love in its physical form, which twists emotions to the brink of madness. At certain moments, the film is quite impressive, but overall, it is empty.

An unexpectedly pleasant surprise. Excellently written script, well-crafted characters, with many actors delivering performances of high quality. A portrayal of the ordinary Czech person during socialism. Some situations and the main character´s "thought processes" are uncomfortably accurate. Many of us were, are, and will be like that. A big thumbs up.

The series certainly has something to it. However, I had read the book before watching the show. That´s why there were several things in the series that I couldn´t digest. It made me reflect on how certain trendy aspects within the cultural war can mar the original work. Even ten episodes of the first season are not enough for one to stop intensely perceiving them.

A classic movie that honestly didn´t resonate with me. Acting, directing, and overall artistically, it seems average to me with some excessively theatrical scenes.

It will definitely find its viewer. For example, my little children laughed a lot while watching it.

An excellently directed family drama based on superb performances by Lady Gaga, Jared Leto, and Al Pacino. Leto, in particular, is exceedingly entertaining. And moreover, thanks to the film, I learned what Florentine football is.

Unique Nordic film combining dark comedy with action crime film and family drama. Fresh, original and entertaining.

It is like putting together Nolan´s Batman movies and Se7en.

Good movie, with a well-written script. At relevant moments, it is very strong and even uncomfortably authentic.
